Mission The Ivory Company was formed in 308 AC just after the fall of the Holy Divine Inquisition. Members of the fallen charter got together with the war-hero Hengest Harhold in an effort to support his interests. However, when its numbers lowered, it was quickly revived by Alaric Keen. In its new inception, the company cut away its chains and relinquished its services for any and all capable buyers. Similar to the Good Company of Harald Steadfast, the Ivory Company puts aside general restriction to create a rigorous workforce for all mercenaries in the political realm. With a comfortable stronghold, the Ivory Company seeks to establish a facile buyout for anyone capable of adding funds to its pocket. Unionist principles always in mind, the Company serves the Empire headfirst, and holds it hand out to cooperate with any given contract. When operating, the company pledges to fulfill the contract above all costs. To establish value in the mercenaries, the Ivory Company also takes the responsibility to act as the Active House Guard of House Keen. Hierarchy of the Fortunate: The Ivory Company follows a very stringent structure to maintain stability among its ranks. Led by the Oberst and the Tactician Cabinet, the company inherits its ability to work together fluently. All role names have been accumulated from various languages, including Genevaud and New Regalian. A common accent is applied to some. Grand Oberst: - The direct commander of all forces. The Oberst is incharge of the tactician cabinet and all ranks thereunder. This is currently held by His Grace Alaric Keen. Oberleutnant: - The Oberleutnant is the right-hand of the Grand Oberst, a direct extension of his authority, and responsible for enacting the Grand Oberst's vision within the troops. Without explanation, they are a member of the Tactician's Cabinet. Lieutenant: - A Lieutenant is an Officer which serves directly under the Grand Oberst and Oberleutnant, and handles a large degree of authority and responsibility with delegation of tasks. They are a member of the Tactician's Cabinet. Sergeant: - A Sergeant is a squad leader level role, responsible for any subordinates assigned to their leadership. They are the first rank which will require demonstrating superior qualities in order to achieve. Sergeants are also considered Training Officers, in that they will aid Officers in ensuring the smooth flow of training events, and be given significant roles in most training sessions. Lance Corporal: - Lance Corporal is the regular rank, which the majority are expected to hold. They are seasoned and trustworthy mercenaries who have proven themselves as above civilians. Private: Private is a transitional rank for any new members who have passed indoctrination, but have yet to prove their mettle. They are expected to watch and learn from their more experienced Lance Corporals and leadership, and should not hold this rank for long. Initiate: - The initiates are all individuals who have been accepted into the Ivory Company, but have not been assessed, trained, or passed indoctrination. They are Ivory mercenaries only on paper. Immediately upon passing indoctrination, they will be promoted to Private, and in some special cases Lance Corporal. Special Positions High Advisor Advisor Alchemist Medic High Advisor is a position outside the rank structure held by any non-Ivory Company individual chosen to be a part of the Officer Cabinet and aid in high-level planning or problem solving. High Advisors, while not authorized to give orders, should be treated with the same regard as a Lieutenant. Advisor is a position outside the rank structure held by any non-Ivory Company individual which assists the Ivory Company in any way other than as a part of the Officer Cabinet. They are not authorized to give orders, but should be treated with the same regard as a Sergeant. Alchemist is a lateral position held by any Ivory Company member. It holds no special authority or recognition, and only serves to clearly designate one as being proficient in Alchemical science. They are expected to provide their expertise as called upon to serve the Company. Medic is a lateral position held by any Ivory Company member. It holds no special authority or recognition, but medics are expected to be unimpeded as much as possible when tending to injured, and to give and be given special care to prevent their injury.

Long time no see, I ran into Augustin Mohren a while ago in the city. And he gave me the update on how Kreiberg was simply falling apart.. After Baron Theopold fired both you and him, and then you found this Company. He suggested I do not go back to Kreiberg but instead come to join you. With my return to the city, and being in need of a job as soon as possible, I'm hoping you'll accept me into your Company. Mohren says you have many opportunties as well, so I believe this is my best course of action for myself. As it also gives me the chance to work under some familiar faces I'm already used to. I'll await your response. Stay safe Grand Obserst Keen." [*]

My sword yearns to serve under a banner once more, and so, a friend, Taeron, recommended that I inquire with you about joining the Ivory Company. Over my years, I have commanded armies under the flag of the Masayan empire under house Nil'hund. My experiences on the battlefield are far and wide. My time in Masaya was cut short due to the events of the Songaskian civil war. My house was directly targeted, and eventually fell. I mustered what I could of my father's forces to assist the rightful ruler's claim to the throne. Now, having succeeded, I find myself searching to begin a new chapter in my life with the remnants of my fallen house. I will warn that my success was not without cost. My father was not the only one to fall the day our house was ambushed - I fell along with him. For reasons I wish I knew, those above decided it was not my time, and so I was granted a second chance at life. I am Archblood. If you would like to inquire more on this in person, I would kindly oblige. Thank you for your time and your consideration. - Yao Nil'hund

As of writing this message, I have had 2 years of combat experience in war 3 years ago, to the north. My main weapons at the time were swords, and I often duel wielded. After my enlistment ended, I retreated into the Wilds, and lived the next 2 years practicing blacksmithing, should the time come again that I come of use. Though I do not know where exactly I was, I kept my skills honed by fighting off the foul beasts of the area. Lately, life has become bland, so I came to the city in hope that I would find excitement and adventure. When I heard that your group was recruiting, I wanted to jump at the chance. The war, though filled with memories horrifying, and comforting, I miss those times dearly, and would like to make more of those memories with a similar group. Please consider what I have said, thank you.
